darkjezter:So, speaking of blow-up sex dolls, has anybody ever heard of anybody actually getting it on with one? I've only ever seen blow-up sex dolls used as props at bachelor parties or for practical joke purposes. I've never heard anybody admit to actually using one for it's (supposed) intended purpose.

The inflatable ones you get at adult novelty boutiques are rather poorly made, and depending on your size (weight) it may not last the first encounter. They rip/pop/leak, and are hard to clean when deflated.

Also, if you like to use implements, dildos, handcuffs, any binding or beads, etc. you can pretty much forget about it.

If you're looking for a budget companion, I'd suggest checking local EMT academies or junior colleges and inquiring about used CPR mannequins. You can usually find a retired CPR mannequin for under $100, and if you have some basic handyman skills you can mount a fleshlight into it. Add a wig and some make up and you've got a halfway decent Real Doll for 1/20th the price.
